The further east you travel in Turkey, the cheaper "antiques" become. There are traders in the west of Turkey who travel to the east every winter and buy truckloads of "antiques" to sell in the shops along the Mediterranean Coast and Istanbul. That olive press mentioned above was probably bought for a fraction of the price that it's being offered at now.

Cem at Anatolian Antiques in Paspatur, Ovacik and Hisaronu has had some fine examples of furniture and rugs, farm equipment, clothes and jewellery in his shops over the years.

Thanks, we will give them a gander next time.

In the U.K. the law states anything described as an antique must be 100 years or more old, which is why U.K. businesses, Antique Fairs and Auctions state they sell or offer Antiques and Collectables.  If anything sold and described as an antique is not 100 years or more old, the seller can face prosecution.
I think this the U.K. description of antiques is a good one, but, unfortunately, other countries and in particular the States describe things from the 1980's as antique.

So the next time that Mrs KKOB refers to me as an antique I can tell her just how wrong she is eh ?  

[Jacqui Harvey]

Heard that one so many times from customers, wives telling me to buy their husbands because they were antiques.  They all thought I had never heard it before and I always duly laughed,  Well business is business and the customer is always right     

[KKOB]

Well according to my age I'm a "collectable".

Only if you come as part of a set and have the makers mark on your bottom, KKOB.

Hi. Susan
Yes that is the shop.
However , the shop does not really reflect the variety of stuff in the units down in Fethiye run by the lady's brother.
A visit to both is a must if your into retro, old, antique and unique.
Me and sue

Hi Sue & Hugh,
This all sounds very exciting and I will definitely pay this place a visit, I prefer the old stuff to the new and mass produced. I'm still househunting I haven't found my forever home yet but it's out there somewhere just waiting for me to stumble across it! See you both when you're out here next, in the Winehouse ?  X
